Sorry…my entry was very serious. You must be looking for things like the kind of toilet paper the band preferred or the brand of alarm clock used in A Day In The Life (and what time was it set for to go off?)It was not set to go off, it was Mal Evan’s clock and it was a coincidence.
I thought it was set off at the end of where the first orchestral section would be so to get everyone alert again, they then couldn’t get it off the tape so it stayed?
The 23-bar bridge section ended with the sound of an alarm clock triggered by Evans. The original intent was to edit out the ringing alarm clock when the missing section was filled in; however it complemented McCartney’s piece well; the first line of McCartney’s song began “Woke up, fell out of bed”, so the decision was made to keep the sound. Martin later said that editing it out would have been unfeasible in any case.

The alarm clock was intended to go off, to mark the beginning of the middle-eight after the twenty-four “blank” bars. Mal counted the bars, and then set off the alarm clock manually. It was not intended to be left on the track, just to mark the end of the bit they were yet to decide what they were going to do with, but it worked so well with Paul’s “Woke up, got out of bed…” that they decided to leave it in.

This is about the lyrics, not the alarm clock. If you look in the Sgt. Pepper ‘s lyrics section, you can find it’s fell out of bed, I thought it was “got” to before looking at the lyric section.

Offline According to Geoff Emerick, the alarm clock was set of as a joke by Mal, and it’s in there simply because they couldn’t get rid of it.

Offline A local radio station has a daily quiz, and yesterday’s asked which year Ringo trademarked his name. The answer is 2011, which he did for future use in “computer game software” and “games via the Internet and wireless devices.”

Offline George arrived at Ringo and Maureen’s wedding on a bicycle.
Paul, back in Liverpool, used to dress in black and try in learn French to pick-up the Boho girls that John and all the art students seemed to attract. It didn’t work but Paul later used his unique way of wooing girls for the inspiration of a French love ballad, ‘Michelle ‘.
Rino’s grandmother didn’t like how he was left handed so he had to learn to write with his right. He bought a right hand drum kit but to this day plays left handed on it.
In 1970 John claimed he saw a UFO in New York and started shouting “Here I am! Come and get me!”

Double duh….I left off Pete Best…so we’re down to one other drummer. Now I really can’t remember his name. I just remember I hadn’t immediately recognised his name when I saw it on the list.

Offline No idea where to put this.
According to Mark Lewinson, Allan Kozinn and Bruce Spizer its looking very much that Ed Sullivan wasn’t at the airport in October 1963 to witness Beatlemania first hand.
The first Motown song played on the BBC, even British Radio, was Please Mister Postman by The Beatles in March 1962.

Better question is “Why’d you find that out?”
